At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Su Zimo's mind as though a tsunami was raging in his mind.
But in the end, he calmed himself down and tried his best to stay calm.
"When did the Patriarch know?"
Su Zimo asked.
Unconsciously, he had changed the way he addressed the Patriarch of the Academy.
The Patriarch of the Academy shook his head slightly and seemed to be helpless about Su Zimo's reaction. He said, "I sensed it when you first broke through hundreds of years after you entered the Academy."
"But don't worry, I have already set up several prohibitions around your cave residence to help you hide the aura of the Creation Qinglian. No one can detect it."
Su Zimo was silent. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was still alert.
The Patriarch of the Academy's eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom. He chuckled and said, "Do you really think that I didn't notice a Creation Qinglian constantly cultivating in the Academy?"
"If so, I don't need to be the Patriarch."
At this moment, Su Zimo had gradually calmed down from the initial shock.
If the Patriarch of the Academy really had any evil intentions towards him, there were too many opportunities for him to do so.
Even now, if the Patriarch of the Academy wanted his Qinglian Real Body, he could directly attack him. He had no power to resist.
Moreover, the Patriarch of the Academy had saved his life and given him a Transmission Jade Talisman. This time, he helped him block the killing intent of King Jin.
More importantly, if the Patriarch of the Academy really had any evil intentions towards him, there was no need for him to reveal it today.
Now, the Patriarch of the Academy was willing to reveal it openly, which proved that he was magnanimous.
"It was a bit sudden, so I didn't get over it immediately. Please forgive me, Master."
Su Zimo looked apologetic.
"It's okay."
The Patriarch of the Academy smiled and said, "I told you this because I want you to relax. At least in the Academy, you don't have to be careful and tense every day."
"Of course, you still have to be careful outside and don't expose your bloodline easily."
"Yes."
Su Zimo nodded.
"Alright."
The Patriarch of the Academy said, "Go back and cultivate. Don't feel any psychological burden or pressure."
"Disciple will take his leave."
Su Zimo bowed and left.
After leaving the Palace of Heaven and Earth, Su Zimo walked in the direction of the Inner Sect. Only then did he realize that at some point in time, his green robe had been soaked in sweat.
A breeze blew past, and a chill came from his body.
Su Zimo let out a long sigh.
No wonder it was said that the Patriarch of the Academy could deduce all things, see through the mysteries of heaven, and have unparalleled wisdom.
Under the gaze of the Patriarch of the Academy, Su Zimo found that he had no secrets at all!
Su Zimo laughed at himself.
All these years, he had been very careful in the academy, as if he was treading on thin ice. He had tried his best to hide Qinglian's bloodline, but he did not expect that someone had already seen through it.
At this moment, a figure came from not far away. In the blink of an eye, it was the Painting Fairy, Mo Qing.
"Senior Sister."
Su Zimo greeted her.
Mo Qing looked at Su Zimo and said, "I just heard that Senior Brother Yuehua deliberately made things difficult for you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's over."
Su Zimo shook his head and smiled.
"That's good."
Mo Qing looked at Su Zimo, as if she wanted to say something, but stopped.
Su Zimo tried to ask, "Is there anything else, Senior Sister?"
"Did you, did you give that painting to Araki Takeshi?" Mo Qing hesitated and asked.
Su Zimo was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said, "Yes, I gave it to him."
Mo Qing asked, "What did he say? Did he draw it well? "
Su Zimo coughed softly and said, "I came back after sending the painting. I don't know if he saw it."
"Oh."
Mo Qing nodded in response.
Su Zimo said, "Senior Sister, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Mo Qing nodded and turned to leave.
The two parted and didn't walk far before Su Zimo narrowed his eyes. He suddenly stopped and turned around to call Mo Qing.
"What's the matter?"
Mo Qing asked.
Su Zimo used his Divine Sense and asked, "There's something I don't know. When I participated in the Immortal Sect Selection, why did Senior Sister arrive in time?"
It was because of a letter in Duke Yuanzuo's memory. Now that he looked back at the Immortal Sect Selection, some things seemed too coincidental.
Su Zimo originally thought that Senior Sister Mo Qing arrived because the ice butterfly sensed Die Yue's aura on him. It was the same situation as in Avici Hell.
But in reality, Qiankun Academy and Coiling Dragon Mountain Range were very far away. It was impossible for the ice butterfly to sense it.
Unless Senior Sister Mo Qing was nearby.
But Senior Sister Mo Qing hadn't gone out in ten thousand years. How could she be near the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range?
Su Zimo looked at Mo Qing and asked, "Did someone ask Senior Sister to go there?"
"Yes."
Mo Qing nodded.
Su Zimo's pupils contracted. He suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heart and continued to ask, "Did the Academy Patriarch ask Senior Sister to go there?"
"No."
Mo Qing said, "It was the Academy's Eighth Elder."
Su Zimo was stunned and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
After a pause, Su Zimo asked again, "Is the Academy's Eighth Elder good at deduction?"
"I don't know."
Mo Qing shook her head and said, "The Academy's Eighth Elder is good at refining weapons. He's in charge of all the weapons in the Academy. How can he be good at deduction?"
"Only the successive Sect Masters have the opportunity to cultivate that kind of technique that can deduce all living things. No one else is qualified."
Mo Qing thought for a while and said, "At that time, the Academy's Eighth Elder had just returned from outside. He saw me and told me about the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and suggested that I go there."
"I didn't want to care about it. But the Academy's Eighth Elder said that it was the Zither Immortal, Mengyao. And as the Painting Immortal, it was most appropriate for me to go there. So I went there."
"I see."
Su Zimo sighed as if relieved of a heavy burden. He murmured, "So I thought too much."
His question seemed ordinary, but it was the key to the whole thing!
If the Painting Immortal's appearance was facilitated by the Academy's Patriarch, then the mysterious letter that Commandery Prince Yuanzuo received was most likely from the Academy's Patriarch!
The pursuit of Yuanzuo, the appearance of the Zither Immortal, the reaction of the Flying Celestial Sect, the Mountain and Sea Immortal Sect, Imperial Wind Temple, Yang Ruoxu's insistence, Senior Sister Mo Qing's appearance …
All these variables were within the Academy's Patriarch's plan!
Su Zimo believed that the Academy's Patriarch definitely had the ability to do so.
But now, because of Mo Qing's explanation, his speculation was not valid.
If the Academy's Patriarch wanted to do something to him, there was no need to involve an Academy Elder.
Senior Sister Mo Qing's appearance was just a coincidence.
The clues about the letter from Commandery Prince Yuanzuo were cut off.
"Why are you asking this?"
Mo Qing frowned and asked.
"Nothing."
Su Zimo smiled and said, "I'm just asking."
